Apple wants to help us all get a better night’s sleep, which is why the company introduced Bedtime in the Clock app with iOS 10.

You likely find it convenient to use Siri to set an alarm just by saying, "Set an alarm for tomorrow morning at 6 am."

iPhone clocks are automatically set to show time on a 12-hour cycle, and if that’s the time you’re used to, it might not occur to you that there’s another option.
